Not exactly on topic....
I still have a 'toy' Beatles acoustic guitar, intact and in good condition that was purchased for me as a boy in the 1960's; featuring autographed facial drawings of each member of the band. It still has its original coloured nylon strings/machine heads.
I've often wondered if it is a collectors item, and how much it could be worth.

A bit off topic but apple is rumored (last night on CNBC) to announce something related with the Beatles today at the conference......... Perhaps a special edition iPod like the U2 one perhaps.......
Who knows until later.
Also heard something about apple and rolling stones re mastered tracks........
Should know more in around 13 hours or so I guess.

If anyone has DVD-A playback capability and if you even moderately like The Beatles, you should check out the Love DVD-A. WOW. +1,000 The show in Vegas is fun as well. I'm hoping to find a mono box set at a brick and mortar today.
Regards,
Bill

Cheapest way to purchase the entire Beatles catalog, I presume.

From my under standing because there will be so few mono sets they may be more expensive.

Oh, I thought Bill was referring to the non-remastered box set (which presumably is a mono/stereo mix). My bad.
Edit: Buying the stereo set and listening with the "Mono" preset would seem to be an option...

Why would someone want the mono set? The Beatles prioritised the mono mixes right up until Let it Be/ Abbey Road. For purists they are the way to go as they reflect the bands's vision of the music more accurately than the stereos, as these were often done at a later date without input from the musicians. There are also significant differences in the mixes, for instance many people consider the mono Sgt. Pepper to be the definitive version.

I just checked out the prices at hmv.co.uk. If you're not bothered about the DVD, you can get all of the individual CDs for �150 delivered (12 @ �10 and The White Album and Past Masters @ �15). That's �150 for all of the CDs in the stereo remastered box set vs. �170 for the box set. And a couple of quid cheaper on Amazon.

So what do you need to buy to get all the original mono albums in mono and the original stereo albums in stereo?
